Some blacks are questioning when law enforce ment agents take advantage of regulations by using them for revenge and unethical deeds motivated by racism and prejudice. An autopsy by the state medical ex aminer found that Bowen was shot at least four times and at the most five times, according to Renee Hoffman, with the state Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. He was shot three times in the chest, once in the head and once in the right hand. Two of the bullets that entered the chest exited the chest and back, while the bullet that struck Bowen’s hand exited the hand. The bullet that entered the head and one of the bullets that entered the chest lodged in the body, the autopsy report states The grand jury’s decision required the concurrence of at least 12 members, officials said. The panel was dealing with a presentment which differs from the usual format that grand juries normally use. The grand jury members were in structed that they had broad powers to investigate the shooting and that they could call witnesses and request additional evidence. The panel was not permitted to call Morris to testify, the judge said. There were 15 names on the witness list, including SBI agents, state troopers, Columbus County sheriff’s deputies and Bolton area residents.

HEADSTART (Continued from page l) Development Association Head Start director and 25th Anniversary Com mittee chairperson for Head Start of North Carolina. “It is a program designed to benefit the entire family. We see the parent(s) as the primary educator(s) of the children and en courage parental participation in our program. If you educate the parents, you educate the children and form a positive cycle which will continue into future generations." The program includes dental, medical, and emotional “special" services to the Head Start child. The “special” services Include providing educational facilities for the han dicapped child. In January, more than 13 percent of the Head Start students wore handicapped. These children have difficulties which are physical, emotional and/or mental. The Head Start program fills a need for these children which might other wise remain unfulfilled. Parents are involved in many of the activities enjoyed by the children, such as field trips, and are a vital pro gram component. Many of the parents of Head Start children con tinue to be an active part of the organization long after their children are in public schools. Parents who entered the organisation as clients have continued to become employees of the organization, and many have continued their education to become college graduates with a bright future. Statistics show that there are more high school graduates the underprivileged who participate in Head Start than those wbodo not The and were self-supporting than those from the same socio-economic background who were not in the Head Start program. Those who will celebrate this year include the 11.4 million children who have been served during the past 25 years, as well as the parents, teachers, and relatives of the students. With a projected enrollment of almost 1.5 million students nation wide for 1990, Head Start is continu ing to grow and challenge the United States to provide the educational and social help that the underprivileged children must have in order to grow and become productive members of American Society. Wake County Opportunities, Inc., a community action agency, is funded to administer the Head Start pro gram that provides services for 457 three- and four-year-old children in target areas of Wake, Orange and Chatham counties. Some activities planned by the Wake-Orange-Chatham Head Start program are Teacher Appreciation Day, Volunteer Recognition Awards Night, a balloon launch and an open house at each of the eight centers.

I don’t care what he has done. Well, I do care, but it is just incredi ble how drugs have taken hold of our society,” Jenkins said. REV. CHABAKU (Continued from page '' Jennifer Elliot, Charmette Brown, 1988 and 1989 award recipients, and Amy Butner, Panhellenic Association president. Threats Force Supremacist To Deed Wife Home FALLBROOK, Calif. (AP)-A white separatist, who is facing a $10 million lawsuit linked to a racially motivated killing in Portland, says that several death threats and an at tempt on his life have prompted him to deed his home to his wife. Tom Metzger, founder of the White Aryan Resistance, said last Thursday that he had taken the action to ensure his wife would have a home in case he was assassinated because of the case. County records show the home was deeded to Kathleen Metzger on Feb. 8. Metzger said an arrow was shot in to his home about a month ago, lodg ing into the wall two feet above the easy chair he normally occupies. A sheriff’s sergeant in Fallbrook con firmed last Thursday that a report had been taken on the incident, but said the case was “basically dead’’ because there were no witnesses. “I’ve had SO or 60 death threats and then this high-powered arrow goes three inches into the wall,” Metzger said. “I said at that time, in case I become assassinated because of this case, I want my wife to have a place to live.” Metzger said he paid off the mor tgage on the three-bedroom home about a year ago so it would be free and clear in the event of his death. “That’s the least I can do for her after all she’s gone through,” Met zger said.

I -800-424- V>76 Viable Program Extends Community GED Classes During the month of March there is a special effort made on the behalf of literacy programs to attract the attention of those individuals that are in need of a high school diploma, GED or just to learn to read for enjoyment. ANITA PEARSON One such program has been in our community for many years and has continued to expand and grow into many segments of society. The Wake Technical College Literacy Program has been a viable force in the community in formulating those literacy classes that are most needed by those that did not have the chance to finish high school. According to Ms. Paula Montegue, who is the Assistant Coordinator at the Broughton Adult Education Center, the students that come to Broughton’s classes are so impressive, because it takes a very smart person to try to make it when they cannot read and decide to do something about it. Ms. Montegue said that when they enter class they are hesitant at first because they feel as if they cannot make it. But after they’ve been there a few days they begin to look different, act different and really begin to work. When asked why, as a single woman, she enjoyed her job, Ms. Montegue pointed out that she loves helping people. Having worked in a similiar recruiting position before. She admitted enjoying watching the positive changes that happen to her students as they begin to acquire the knowledge necessary to obtain the high school diploma. Also working in the same program with Ms. Montegue is Mrs. Anita Pearson, who moved here with her husband Lt. Colonel Alonzo Pearson from Orangeburg, S.C. Mr. Pearson is head of ROTC at St. Augustine’s College. Anita, as she likes to be called, is literacy recruiter/retention specialist and coordinator of compensory ed. (a program for adults with mental retardation.) Her job is one that she loves. Currently she works with organizations and agencies to help them develop classes for adults who wish to continue their education. The difference in what Ms. Montegue does and what Mrs. Pearson does is that at the Broughton Adult Center, students attend the on site classes four nights per week. A minimum of four courses must be taken to graduate and each course is worth one unit of Adult High School credit. Nine credits are needed to graduate and upon completion an Adult High School Diploma is issued. Whereas in the GED classes, only two nights per week are required and your progress is monitored by tests periodically and your graduation depends solely on your ability to pass the state GED test administered by Wake Technical College. One thing both ladies specified is that the classes are geared toward adults ages 18 and over because they do not wish to encourage high school drop-outs. They are also thrilled a< the prospects of reaching mors people in the community to let them know of the availability of classes. There is a wide age range for students and classes are available for all ages. People that have a wide range of abilities and continue to read are able to pass the test faster. This is a free opportunity to get an education. It’s out there for the taking. Both Mrs. Pearson and Ms. Montegue emphasised the fact that the classes are convient to most people and the confidence they share in the effectiveness of the program. The teachers are well trained, the materials for classes are among the best in the nation. Also, it was plain to see that training for everyone is intensive. There are more checks and balances so that those that are supervisors will be able to give the teachers more support. There are classes for those that speak other languages and wish to learn English and a Spanish GED class. In the efforts to educate, the students are given extra help in that they remain in contact with teachers and other personnel if they have to leave class for any reason. It is the aim of all classes to make sure that a 100 percent attendance rate is maintained.

Protect your precious cargo by using the right safety seat Just because you are a careful, safety-minded driver with your little one in the car, don’t be so sure that other drivers heed the “baby on board" sign. Between 1983 and 1988, the lives of 1,011 children under the ago of five were saved by car safety seats, according to government statistics. It is estimated that another 1,980 children in the same age group might have been saved over the past five years had they been in a properly installed and adjusted car safety seat. Buckle up Children need extra protection while traveling in a car, beginning with that first trip home from the hospital. According to the United State* Department ..f transportation (DOT), small children arc safest in a car when properly buckled in a child safety seat fastened in the rear seat of the vehicle. But a safety seat is only as useful as you make it. Kinder-Care. the nation’s leading provider of proprietary child care, has more than 20 years ot experience working with children, and suggests the following when choosing a safety seat: • Buy and use only child safety seats that meet DOT requirements. Look for a label on the seat that states this fact. Also, make sure the real was manufactured after January 1,1981, when standards for safety seats were changed. • Always select a seat that fiU your child. Ask to place your child in the seat to see if he/she is comfortable and that the harness fits snugly. • Always select s safety Seat that fits Ccar. Eighty percent of the seat’s should rest on the par seat. The car’s safety belt system should be compatible with the car seat to hold it securely in place, fie sure to follow the manufacturer’s instruction! when installing. " • Always select a seat that is convenient to use so that it will be used acco-ding to manufacturer's instructions Is it easy to WlMchiid and remove him/her at the end of the sn*W king gardens (Continued from page 1) committee expects to generate $40^000 from the sale of approximately 800 bricks for the Memorial Wall. King flnmmitt— member Metoka Trice shared her observations. “W0 aL can relate fo having our names permanently recooded in history. One of the appealing features of this memorial wall is that it gives us the opportunity to buy bricks In the name and memory of loved ones who have passed on. Also, many people Ore buying bricks in the name of their children and grand children. I think it’s wonderful” Attorney Geoff Simmons stated, “I have seen samples of names in the brick and they are impressive indeed.
